I'd get her another form of calcium and try it. Calcium citrate [human] or calcium gluconate TSC in cattle area. She may just need more than she is getting right now they can get depleted and need a boost.

Perhaps her body is still adapting to laying and she needs to 'calculate' her needs of calcium intake. Try adding some as like Lydia suggested. I think everything should work out soon, when her body adapts to her newly discovered ability.

Thank you everyone. She laid a soft egg today aswell. We will get calcium citrate today. Hoping it turns out well.

So I bought the calcium citrate and it’s a huge pill. Should I give 1 pill a day? I did give one now. Crushed it and mixed it up with egg and she ate it. Is that alright?

 

[Miss Lydia]

How many meg per pill and if you can get her to eat egg with pill crushed your doing great.

 

[jendarwin]

It’s 1000 mg per pill.

 

[jendarwin]

Anyone ??

 

[jendarwin]

Should I give her 500 mg everyday ? Can someone advice me please.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sorry for being off today. split the pill into 4th and only give 1/4 a day. 250mgs

Any change regarding the eggs?
